Following Dublin being taken over with Swifties as Taylor Swift is in town for her Eras Tour in Ireland, Taoiseach Simon Harris made a comment that he has "a bone to pick" with the pop superstar.

In an interview the Taoiseach said this: 

"I have a bone to pick with Taylor Swift actually, because we're delighted to have her delighted to have her here in Ireland. But she did take a pebble from a beach in Greystones. She sings about it in sweet nothing, Gretystones being my hometown."


"So I'm very pleased that Taylor enjoys Wicklow. But I like my pebble back. I don't mind if she keeps it, but I'd like to at least know a little bit more about it, but she does. She does ponder in the song. You know, does the pebble ever will miss Wicklow? And, shur everybody would miss Wicklow,
wouldn't they? But she's very welcome back to County Wicklow at any time. I'm not sure whether she'll have time to visit this time. But she's very welcome."

"Be delighted to be delighted to tour the location of many more people that we have in the beautiful town of Greystones on our on our beach."
